"Het is een nacht... (Levensecht)" (English: "It is a Night... (Lifelike)") is the debut single by Dutch artist Guus Meeuwis.

Meeuwis wrote the song after a romantic weekend with his girlfriend Valérie Gregoire in Bruges.

In 1994, Meeuwis and a couple of friends entered a talent competition (the AHC-Studentensongfestival) in Leiden with this song and won.

As a result, the group was offered a recording contract by Willem van Schijndel, under the name "Guus Meeuwis & Vagant".

[1][2] The song became a huge hit in The Netherlands and Belgium and reached the peak position in both the Dutch and Belgian charts.
